Chapter 418 The Male Lead's Shield (58)



Yun Jing understands the art of language very well.

If he keeps saying that Jiang Tian is his salvation, it will put invisible pressure on her.

He always knew perfectly well what he should and shouldn't say.

Jiang Tian was naturally curious, but she said no problem, and they could discuss it in detail that evening.

The two of them overslept. Yun Jing, relying on his youth and sweet talk, coaxed Jiang Tian into having sex again in the morning while she was still in a daze. By the time it was over, the two of them didn't even have time to exchange a few words before they went to their respective destinations.

……………………

After many days, Zhou Yuncheng finally mustered up the courage to meet Jiang Tian.

Zhou Yuncheng had heard about the troubles Shen Qingshu had caused since her return these past few days.

But he has always had a bad habit of putting on airs.

With Yun Jing by Jiang Tian's side, Zhou Yuncheng suddenly didn't know how to proceed.

Upon learning that Duan Muqing was hospitalized, Zhou Yuncheng vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

He shared the same thoughts as everyone else; Yun Jing was just a pastime.

Once this phase passes, they will naturally break up.

Zhou Yuncheng thought that since his rival was hospitalized, he would be wasting a rare opportunity if he didn't come to see Jiang Tian.

So this time he came without telling anyone.

As soon as Jiang Tian entered the store, the shop assistant winked at her, implying that someone was waiting for her.

Having received a hint from the shop assistant, Jiang Tian wasn't so surprised to see Zhou Yuncheng.

On the contrary, Zhou Yuncheng was taken aback for a moment when he saw Jiang Tian.

It's been several months since the two of them last met.

Ever since the day he fought with Duan Muqing, got into a car accident, and ended up in the hospital, their communication has been almost completely cut off by an invisible barrier.

Zhou Yuncheng was busy recovering from his injury and handling company affairs, while Jiang Tian was busy with her engagement, and the two were gradually drifting apart.

Fortunately, Duan Muqing suffered a setback along the way, which gave them another opportunity to communicate.

Zhou Yuncheng looked Jiang Tian up and down, his tone quite complicated: "You look very well."

It's much better than when they first met.

When Zhou Yuncheng and Jiang Tian first met, they maintained a friendly relationship and would meet up frequently.

At that time, Jiang Tian did not leave a very deep impression on Zhou Yuncheng's memory.

She was always soft-spoken, never argumentative, never angry, and always well-mannered, earning everyone's praise.

But when Zhou Yuncheng saw her again today, he could clearly feel that Jiang Tian was much more vibrant than before.

Her eyes and brows radiated a vibrant and energetic beauty.

She seems to be living a better life after leaving him.

Hearing Zhou Yuncheng's words, Jiang Tian touched her face and accepted his praise readily: "Thank you for the compliment. It's been so long since we last met. How have you been lately?"

Zhou Yuncheng knew she was just being polite, so he concealed his disappointment and put on a gentle and refined demeanor, smiling at her and saying, "Not bad."

"Aunt Zhou called me a couple of days ago and invited me to visit your home, but I've been too busy lately to go. How is Aunt Zhou's health?"

Zhou Yuncheng nodded: "It's alright."

Jiang Tian nodded in agreement: "That's good."

After that, the two of them ran out of things to say and sat facing each other drinking coffee in an unusually quiet atmosphere.

Before Zhou Yuncheng became so anxious about gains and losses, he wouldn't have felt any problem sitting here for a whole day.

But he is different now than usual. He came here not simply to have coffee with Jiang Tian.

"...Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Jiang Tian was somewhat surprised: "I've already asked all the questions I needed to ask."

"Where is Tao Xinrou? Why don't you ask me why she's not by my side anymore?"

Zhou Yuncheng stared at Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian shook her head: "Don't make things difficult for me. Your private affairs have nothing to do with me. Why should I ask these questions?"

A few years ago, Jiang Tian would definitely have asked, Zhou Yuncheng thought back. The two of them said they were friends, but the traces of their lives overlapped too much.

"Tao Xinrou claimed to be pregnant in order to stay by my side, but the test results were naturally negative. After I woke up, I had a talk with her, gave her some money, and she won't be coming back."

"Our feud is over."

There are some things that Zhou Yuncheng doesn't want to investigate, not that he can't find out.

He could roughly estimate how much of what Tao Xinrou said to him was exaggerated.

In order to cover up the matter, Zhou Yuncheng chose the simplest option: to pay money to avoid further trouble.

Once the money was paid and the person left, everything was peaceful.

Jiang Tian: That's great.

Zhou Yuncheng stared at Jiang Tian: "Is that all?"

The smile on Jiang Tian's lips had vanished: "What else do you want to hear?"

Zhou Yuncheng knew that he was being aggressive at this moment, but ever since their relationship broke down, Jiang Tian seemed to have become someone from a completely different world.

She neither paid attention to nor cared about his past.

I explained to her that it was like ripples on the surface of a lake; the water would soon return to normal and leave no trace.

"What do you think? I came to you, you should understand what I want."
